Yahoo mail using all my iphone cell data

In the last month, my cell data use has quadrupled (usually average around 2.5GB, now I'm on pace to hit 7.5GB by the end of the month). The culprit seems to be my Yahoo mail coming into the iphone mail app. I've had the account for over a decade, so there is a lot of mail there, but I can't limit how much it's bringing in (thanks, Yahoo). Any ideas as to bugs going on about Yahoo mail servers sucking up all the cell data? I don't have the option of being on wifi at work during the day, so this is a big pain.

Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is  way to do what I wanted )...
By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • I love Apple and I use all product. iPhone 3,3s,4,4s,5, iPad and Mac Air(now no more 3,3s and 4)... Only one thing I want to know is... What can I do if some one spy on my phone? How do I protect all my stuff that I put in my phone?

    the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
    if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

  • When i added my yahoo mail account in my iphone 4 ,it synced all the mail folders with its emails .BUT this didn't happen when i did the same in my macbook pro ?

    Hi,
    I think iphone 4 deals with mail account in an impressive way unlike the macbook pro. Because my yahoo mail account had been synced completely with all its emails and folders on the iphone 4.
    BUT with Macbook pro, nothing happened even it told me that please make sure of your password. N.B. I know my password....
    My question is can I have all my emails synced in my new macbook pro with all its folders. ?
    Thanks,
    Ahmad.

    Kind Regards

    I was also having lots of issues over the last two days, but found an easy fix...
    1) Go to Settings
    2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3) Choose your Yahoo account
    4) Hit your Account name at the top
    5) Check you password... my password was not right -- don't know if it was remembered as an old one or if it was just dorked up altogether, but I corrected it and now everything is fine.
    Good luck

  • I can log into my yahoo home page using Firefox. I can't link from my yahoo page to yahoo mail using Firefox. Help!

    I get a failure message saying: “The requested URL /mc/welcome was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch Server at us.mc1120.mail.yahoo.com Port 80″ I have deleted all cookies, flushed my DNS and temp files. Problem persists... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 3.6 and then upgraded to Firefox 4. Firefox appears to function okay in all my other browsing use. If I use IE as a browser The yahoo mail link functions correctly. I suspect that Firefox or an add-on that I don’t see listed under tools/ add-ons may be rejecting the URL “redirect” as a Phishing .attempt??? This has been going on for 2 weeks several attempts a day. Don’t just say the server is busy , try later because Firefox fails, IE works as well as the IE Tab for Firefox problem revolves around Firefox and yahoo email. I have run Norton and Spy sweeper too no problems. When I enable the Google toolbar I will get a similar error "Oops! This link appears broken." Any Help GREATLY appreciated!

  • How about allowing customers who don't use all their paid for data to store it to be used in the event of an over use?

    If we have already paid for data why can't we store it so if someone on the plan is traveling or in an area without wifi if the plan is in jeopardy of going over it could pull from the storage.  I have five (5) lines and 10g and rarely use more than half but occasionally there is the possibility of going over.  It seems unfair when for months I have paid for and not used it all.  It would be a really good marketing move to offer this to those who might be ready to switch cell phone carrier.

    rebretz wrote:
    Barely going over your data plan results in such a ridicously high charge. It's $10 for an extra GB. That's really steep. And the difference between the 5GB and 10 GB plan is only $30. Again it only comes done to Verizon greed. (Not just Verizon but AT&T also) If someone is on the More Everything plan, it is $15 for an overage of up to 1 GB if you have an allowance of 1 GB or more, it is not $10. Additionally, there is not a 5 GB plan, but a 4 GB and a 6 GB plan. The difference between a 4 GB and 10 GB plan is $30/month and the difference between a 6 GB and 10 GB plan is $20/month.
    This also goes along with Verizon now going to throttle data of people still on grandfathered unlimited plans by claiming it's for network optimization. It's all about trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of people. I have two lines of grandfathered unlimited data but if I would change my plan to so called "More Everything Plan" I'll end paying about $70 more a month. Throttling data does NOT squeeze more money out of customers. You will still be paying the same $30/month for your unlimited data. The throttling will ONLY be for high bandwidth activities, at least as reported by multiple sources, and will only be temporary, unlike until the end of the billing cycle as has been the case in the past. Of course if you would be paying $70 more/month to switch to More Everything you should stick with your old Nationwide plan. Not everyone who switches will be paying more, though, and would need to be determined on a case by case basis by the customer.
    It's obvious Verizon is only doing this to squeeze us of Unlimited. If they were really worried about Network Optimization they would throttle anyone who uses more than 5GB of data a months not just those still on Unlimited Data. This is not the case. When someone who pays for ACTUAL usage, the increased revenue can help Verizon offset the cost of increasing capacity. When you have a SET REVENUE stream on an unlimited data plan, this IS NOT the case. Increased revenue leads to more money available to be used on infrastructure.

  • Verizon yahoo mail - use POP3 to download Sent Items?

    Hi,
    I am using Verizon Yahoo Mail. I'd like to setup a POP3 account in Microsoft Outlook 2010 to download all of my messages onto my hard drive. I managed to get to the point where I am able to retrieve all of the messages in my Inbox, but if possible, I would also like to retrieve the messages that are in my Sent Items folder as well. Can anyone tell me how I can do this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Verizon Yahoo utilizes the Yahoo front end for webmail, etc. Usually the problem that generates these errors codes is temporary and will resolve itself if you logout and log back in or simply try again in a couple of hours. If the problem happens everytime it will need to be investigated further.

  • Why don't I see the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs when composing a message in the new Yahoo Mail, using Firefox, but I do when using Internet Explorer?

    I have been using the new Yahoo Mail on Firefox. But today I noticed that when I write an email (Compose/Reply/Forward), I cannot format it. Only the 'Attachments' tab is present, but the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs are not.
    But when I do it using Internet Explorer, all those tabs are present and I can format and do whatever.
    Is there something wrong with my Firefox? I have restarted my computer, I have shut it down, but my Yahoo Mail remains problematic when using Firefox.

    Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902

  • Problem replying in yahoo mail using iPod touch

    Hi,
    I am not able to to reply to emails using yahoo mail configured in ipod touch, I have this message : Cannot Send Mail The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed.
    But I'm able to send mails when not replying. What can I do to solve this problem?
    Thanks
    Pat

    I had the same problem with Yahoo! Mail but even worse I found that I simply could not send any mail at all. The problem only arose this week after installing the new (1.1.4) software upgrade.
    I had originally set up Yahoo! Mail using the option given on the Mail screen and it worked perfectly until the upgrade, which may just have been coincidental, I suppose. But I was then unable to send any mail at all. I deleted the e-mail account and then reapplied it but not by opting for the Yahoo! option on Mail and instead set it up as an 'Other' POP account, being sure to deactivate SSL and instead go for Password verification. From what I gather this is just how you would set up a Yahoo! Mail account for MacMail and this basically applies the advice that BT gives for Yahoo! Mail users with a Mac.
    It then worked fine, but I lost the really cool real-time sync with Yahoo! Mail which I had had previously.
    I have since managed to get Yahoo! Mail working again properly by simply trying and trying and trying to reapply the account as a true Yahoo! Mail account on the Mail icon and eventually it gave in to my dogged persistence.
    Good luck.

  • Why can't I add my Yahoo mail account to my iPhone 5S?

    I cannot add my Yahoo email account to my iPhone 5S. I have searched this forum and watched videos, but to no avail.
    I tried the 'other' tab, using smtp, imap, etc. But I either get the 'Server Unavailable' message or 'Username and/or password is incorrect.'
    Help!

  • Yahoo mail ,using ff shows resolutions not high enough but works withchrome

    When I log into Yahoo mail I get a popup stating my computer resolutions are too low. Nothing has changed. I can log in OK using Chrome.or Google on this same computer.

    Hmm, maybe... Firefox changes the resolution reported to websites based on your zoom level. Could you try reducing your zoom a notch (hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - key) to see whether that makes a difference? When you reload the Yahoo page, use Crl+Shift+r to force a full reload and bypass any cached files.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Clear Firefox's Cache
    Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on yahoo.com (secure or insecure), try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    If you can't open a page on yahoo.com, you can open the dialog on this site and change the site in the search box at the top of the dialog to yahoo.com.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
